Watch stones bounce off the castle and get increasingly annoyed, more like.

Played a few more levels of Crush The Castle last night, but, frankly, it’s becoming less interesting the more I play.

Crush The Castle (iPhone) http://inverty.com/2010/05/06/crush-the-castle-iphone/ http://inverty.com/2010/05/06/crush-the-castle-iphone/#comments Thu, 06 May 2010 11:16:56 +0000 That Rev Chap http://inverty.com/?p=6106 Played a fair few levels of Crush the Castle last night. It’s the iPhone version of a web game and basically set the template for the likes of Angry Birds. (That’s at least as far as I’m aware.) I shall explain in pictures.

Crush The Castle

There's a castle, of sorts.

Crush The Castle

There's a trebuchet. You click once to start, then again to launch your projectiles.

Crush The Castle

You (hopefully) hit the castle and it wobbles a bit, then (hopefully) falls over.

There’s a few things that make it worse than Angry Birds. Obviously, it lacks the charm of that game. Also, the trebuchet is on its own screen, so you can’t actually see the castle when you fire. The various projectiles you can use aren’t nearly as interesting or as skillful as the birds in Angry Birds. Finally, there’s not such a satisfying sense of destruction. Parts of the castle fall rather than break – and it takes a lot of effort to make them do that. You don’t feel nearly as powerful in Crush The Castle as Angry Birds.

Still, it’s not a bad game by any means and was free when I downloaded it yesterday, so I’m not going to complain too much.
